Clipping Tip

I was watching the news this morning and there was a lady on there talking about couponing and they showed a clip of her cutting out the coupons one at a time!  Oh my goodness I sure hope none of you are doing that!  (If you are, pick your head up, today is your lucky day)

I too was an individual cutter, but no more, LOL!  Take the time to sit down on the floor or at a table, seperate your coupon inserts by type (ie. Red Plum, P&G, etc.) and then by each page.  The pages that are two together have been folded enough that they should tear apart easily.  Now lay them all out in groups.  Take a stapler and staple each stack in a few out of the way places and cut the coupons out all at once.  For example: The P&G insert had Cascade coupons again, stack all those pages together and cut the Cascade coupon out once instead of 5 times.  Now they are cut and sorted all at once instead of 5 different times.  This will cut your Sunday couponing work in half.  Plus, if you have your binder handy, you can put them away as you cut making it even better!
